Preparation

Baking
  1. Arrange the biscuits on the prepared tray and sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheese.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  3. Check for a golden brown bottom and slightly browned tops; they are done!
